Can you sell or, more importantly, do you want to sell? Very few people, when they were at school or university, chose selling as their future career. My research has shown that most sales people got the job by opportunity or necessity. In the last few years there has been a massive change of emphasis, withnon-sales people actively taking ownership of winning new clients and developing those relationships into new business opportunities.

As a result people who previously would never, not even in their wildest imaginations, have thought that part of their profession would be selling, are in fact doing just that.Through necessity and to keep themselves employed, people have been forced into learning the skills of selling. So can you sell? Of course you can, but only if you really want to. It is probably worth noting, as a motivation and a stimulus, that as you become successful at winning new business you will also increase your income, and for most people this is a good enough reason.

I stated above that, for  selling, it is wise to start by building a list of potential customers within a five-mile radius. This may not be pertinent in some instances, and that radius may have to be 10 or even 20 miles, but the principle is important.

I have advised numerous franchise companies over the years, and in most cases a franchisee buys a given territory. This can be based on postcodes, counties or population. Nevertheless, when a new franchisee starts business, they should concentrate on distributing their marketing literature in most cases within a one-mile radius of their base and then gradually move out.

It is often fascinating to see how much potential business there can be within a one-mile radius, and it is so much more cost-effective,as vans with company logos that are continually seen can generate new enquiries. We all know that success in advertising comes from the repetition, not just the one sighting. This requires a much more detailed and planned approach. Every sales person, unless starting with a virgin product or virgin territory, will no doubt have some existing customers.

Proactive marketing and selling are entirely in your control. You will decide how many people you will approach, and by increasing your activity here you will undoubtedly increase your sales. Selling after all is really a numbers game. The more people you talk to, the more likely you are to win business.

In our executive recruitment division, which is probably in one of the most competitive industries, where advertising your services is a complete waste of money, winning new clients is totally dependent on the number of outgoing approaches that are made to prospective customers. It is a very simple formula – the more contacts that our sales people make, the more successful they will be.

I personally recommend that every business should be operating both proactively and passively. Of course, it is essential to have a website, and for any readers who want further advice on this, contact us at allendaleapts.

Marketing encompasses advertising, branding, PR, sales brochures, labelling and packaging – all of which are intended to create potential customer interest, but then selling takes over. Selling involves person-to-person communication, either on the phone or face to face.

Now I do accept that some selling takes place on the internet, which is of course based on words and pictures. With regard to the internet, which is getting more and more sophisticated, not only does it require that you have
an excellent website that within three seconds of customers clicking on it must retain their interest, but it must also be very easy for customers to find what they are looking for.

The real sophistication comes in the marketing of the website and search engine optimisation (SEO), so that the site comes in high on the list selected by the search engines.

The whole process of winning business this way carries high risk, because the seller is dependent on customers finding the website. It also can be dangerous because this is a passive activity where the future is dependent on customers, and you could easily go broke waiting for the phone to ring or the order to arrive by e-mail.
